Enclave update messed up a LOT of stuff?
I've see a couple posts about lack of dps from weapons. Well I'm sitting here shooting a laser turret in the glowing sea while sneaking. Every time Im hitting I get a sneak attack message of 2x as expected. Problem? The health of the turret NEVER drops. Im seeing this all over in the game and seemingly randomly. The game ran perfectly fine before the update. I know that running hard and up can mess with this but Ive moved it back down to normal and still all weapons on all enemies are unpredictable in if they do any damage even when the game is clearly thinking they are.

Anyone else seeing this?

Also just ran into the "echoes from the past" cant use the terminal or drop down through the hole. Mods or not mods. It never works. I only mention it as its part of this update as well.

This update, while cool and nice to be "free" is clearly more buggy than even New Vegas was on release and that's saying a lot.

There are mods posted on here on steam, put that cc to "sleep" or turn it off altogether.
They are from TheIneptEuropean.

So far, been playing FO4 update for about a week. No issues except the game crashed on me the first time I loaded into the game. Not seeing or experiencing any bugs for me.

Im seeing all sorts of craziness. Like the enclave soldiers Im sniping one. If I damage them it works but then they suddenly they have full health then just as sudden the damage is back. Zoomed in and targeted I see the health bar bounce back and forth.

Also game has started to crash about ever 3rd or 4th fast travel.

Things are just going flaky and the only change Im aware of is this update.

As to disabling the addon understandable but really was looking forward to play it.

What sort of mods are you using?

The only mod I'm using is Load Accelerator. I'm also running the game in High settings in a 4k monitor in Windowed mode. I manually edit the screen dimensions in the fallout4prefs.ini file to make it as close to the desktop size as I can. The following are lines 40-45, if you want to use it for reference if you're using 4K.

bTopMostWindow=0
bMaximizeWindow=0
bBorderless=0
bFull Screen=0
iSize H=2025
iSize W=3600

I find that if I use fullscreen mode and tab out, it's likely to hang the game. If I do it in windowed mode, it doesn't.

My game shuts down when I use the ESC key, every time. I can't go to the menu page at all. Also, I can't access the mod page at start up. Anyone else having these problems?

Here no changes to resolution, graphics, etc. Im just running plain jane 1920x1080 wide not windowed and "ultra". Same as I have for the past 8+ years. The only change was this update. As to mods I'm seeing this mod-less and in my old saves that have numerous mods but primarily SS2.

What is happening though that is also new with this update, and today, is I cant actually go into the mods in the menu. I keep getting a "The operation could not be completed.".

Seriously b0rked.


Edit: Odd thing. When you get the press any key on first start up I now have to do that twice to get the game to enter the menu to load/start.

OP the error message you're seeing is random and related mainly to Bethesda server load/stability. Most people who use the built in mod manager or CC or just the main menu have been seeing that on and off since the update.

It's not related to the other issues you're reporting.

OP unfortunately what you may need to do is downgrade your video settings until you are at the levels officially supported by the next Gen update (stated in the release notes). These are higher than were officially supported before, but seem to be lower than some people were unofficially achieving before the update.

Quite likely the odd issues you are seeing are caused by breaking scripts and physics with an overly high frame rate.
Eg follow the suggestions from GinsengSamurai.

Wait, you are saying to downgrade from a 10+ year old supported graphics mode? To what? 1024x768? lol That would seem incredibly oddball as its not like I'm running something insane.

Settings listed by Ginseng appear to me to be well beyond anything Ive ever run let alone running now.
The FPS and refresh rate is more important than the display dimensions

the problems mentationed at the start hint very strong into the direction of to high fps breaking the engines foundation.
